The jerry builder is not to have it all
his own way in Rome. The municipality
has Mt last interfered and declared that
overgrown, decrepit, |insanitary structures
are no longer to be run up like mush-
rooms and finished off, let and inhabited
before the plaster is dry. The specula-
tors and contractors who have hitherto
been monarchs of all they surveyed pro-
tested against this interference with the
vested interests of dishonest workman
ship; but the S. p. Q. r. will probably
stand firm, the evil having grown to in
tolerable and impossible dimensions.
There is a grim satisfaction in knowing
that the huge factories flor they resemble
nothing else which disgrace the Esquiline
and the Pratt di CASTILLO are not quite SO
permanent as the Colosseum, and are
scarcely more desirable as places of resi-
dence. They will rapidly crumble away,
to be replaced, perhaps, with buildings
more worthy of the Eternal City. But In
the mean time, and for a generation or
W. at least, Rome is INTELLECTUALLY dis
graced in the eyes of the civilized world.

Now Land Schemes.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ Aug. IA
Nogales special to the Democrat says: 1t
is stated that a company of American
capitalists are negotiating with the Mcxi-
can government Tor a concession to con-
struct a canal through the Yaqui River
valley, and that 81, 800, 900 will be invest
ed in the enterprise.
The extent of the canal is not known,
but it will open up hundreds ofthousands
of acres for cultivation. The land in this
valley is conceded to be valuable, as this
is one Of the richest and most productive
valleys on the continent.
II the American company can obtain
this concession and build the canal they
will open up a new paradise. 1t is also
understood the same company are nego-
tiating Tor large tracts of land in Arizona,
and will shortly IN work on sew
eral canals.
The starting of these new enterprises
marks a new era in the prosperity of Ari-
iona, which may be attributed to the
close of the Indian war.

l suppose most people who walk along
broadway with their eyes open cannot
lave failed to notice recently a remark
able increase in the number of young
looking women with white hair that are
to be met nowadays. l am myself the
most credulous individual, and especially
where lovely woman is concerned, it dis
trcsses me to find myself having the
smallest doubt as to the genuineness of
everything about her. But it seemed to
me so odd that such Il number of white
haired women appeared all at once that l
was moved to make perquisition into the
subject, and consulted an affable acquaint-
nnce of mine who is what Is styled Il ton
serial artist.
From him l learned that the white hair
craze is the latest fashionable fad, and
that it is obtained by the same means that
were employed to produce the daffodil
colored tresses that nave been so long in
vogue, but which having been adopted by
ladies' of n certain class are now tabooed
by society. The bleaching mixture is
peroxide of hydrogen, which, when mixed
with % per cent. of ammonia, will in two
applications turn the blacklist hair snow
white by the simple process of destroying
the coloring matter. OF course it is
frightfully injurious to health, as it with
ers the capillary tubes just as any other
vegetable is shriveled by burning, but
the ladies who use it don't mind running
their health IS long as they can be in the
fashion.-New York Letter.

There is nothing small about the Ameri-
can collector of books. AT the recent
Penseyres sale, in Paris, E.. +. Bonaven-
ture, the dealer Of this city, had an agent
present. Among n number of other
purchases made by him was one of a book
from the collection of the ancient biblio-
phile Grolier, for which he paid nearly
$1,000. 1t is about half the size of a
Webster's Unabridged, and is not in n
perfect state, a page being wanted. Yet
collectors are crazy about it, and if the
dealer holds out long enough he will prob
ably get double what it cost him. Other
purchases of his were n couple of little
books of the size of the patent medicine
almanacs you pick up on drug store
counters. One is n prayer book, with
queer illustrations printed from wood
blocks, and the other n letter of Americas
Vespucius, the discoverer of America.
These cost the dealer some II, 900 francs,
or over $4,000. While l was looking over
some French periodicals at Bon~aventure's
the other afternoon the son of a millionaire
Of Wall street came in, bought n bundle
OF books and went away. 1 asked the
salesman whether he had made a good
sale. He showed me the memorandum.
The little package the young man had
carried off in his hand had cost him

At the Battle of Gettysburg.

Very few civilians can rid their minds,
even when they knew better, of the idea
that any one present at n battle must see
the hole or a large part of it, or at the
least n very large amount of smoke and
fighting. 1t is marvellous how very little
any one individual sees of any one given
battle, though he may be in the very thick
of the fighting, or even at the headquar-
tiers of the commander in chief. | real
lied that fully on the present occasion,
for although standing Of one of the most
advantageous spots to witness n portion
of the fight, with the valley and town of
Gettysburg lying below me and the
heights beyond in full view, l reflected
that our line was twelve miles in length,
of which on even a clear day, with no in
tervening figures or smoke, l could at
least only see about two miles.
Then again l had always supposed, as l
I'M sure most other people suppose, that the
commander in chief always took up n posi-
ton where, field glass in hand, he could
command a view of a large part of the
action. Gen. Meade's headquarters were
in a slight depression in a dense wood,
whence you could see nothing a hundred
yards off, and yet, strange to say, en- pas
SAINT, secluded as was this spot, the rebs
had Rscertained the locality to q nicely
and shelled 1t with such vigor and accu-
racy that in ten minutes no less than six
teen horses belonging to the staff were
killed. The officers all escaped unhurt by
seating themselves under the friendly
shelter OF huge powders of granite, where
they laughed and chatted and enjoyed the
thing as a big joke while the shells shrieked
and exploded beyond them.-Frank Bel
lew in New York Mail and Express.

81 hate to see n man enter that room,n
said the city editor of n morning paper to
IN applicant for work. "Look at those
young men sitting round that table; they
nrc all waiting for me to give them assign
mcnts, and have none to give. Why
don't they come in here and suggest some
thing tbemselvessr Most city editors
III New York have the same feeling.
thcy are overrun with applicants for
places, and two-thirds of those who pre-
sent themselves are utterly Unfit for
the work they wish to do. The space
system Of pay for local newspaper
work intensihes the pressure. Any man
with paper and pencil can write what may
be published and paid for, and so when q
man finds other doors closed against him
he goes to n newspaper office. A good
many women seek the same refuge. The
patience Of city editors under the iufliction
is marvellous. Perhaps it is partly ac-
counted for by the fact that most of them
do not have to edit the manuscript turned
out by these beginners. 1t is handed
over to those luckless wretches, the copy
readers, and they generally make short
work of it.-Cor. Philadelphia Record.

The Photographic as well as the daily
press of England seems now to be much
exercised over the ''Mayal process" al
though it claims nothing more than to
be the means by which photographs may
be rapidly colored by those who need not
have great artistic ability.
An outline of his method may serve to
give some idea of its merits. 1t will
probably, like many of its predecessors,
meet with a wide appreciation in certain
Photographic circles, at least for a time.
The negatives, made on orthochromatic
plates, are not retouched. In order to
obtain the best results a solar camera
print is made, toned and fixed in the
usual manner. The print, after leaving
the hypo bath, is subjected to the action
of solution, which transforms the silver
forming the image into silver oxide, and
at the same time entirely eliminates the
hypo by chemical action. The colors
used in the tinting are entirely new (al-
bumen probably, and form part of Mr..
Mayall's discovery. They are beautifully
transparent, and when applied to the
surface of the print unite with the image,
forming a colored silver compound, which
there is good reason to believe is abso-
lutely permanent. The print is then
placed face upwards in an air tight box,
into which silicon, in a state of. impalpa-
BILE powder, is blown. When this has
subsidized and formed a layer of the pic
ture, it is carefully coated with salcylic
acid, and the whole-image, colors and
flm-unite to form a kind of flexible
glass, which, when dry, leaves the paper
support and can be applied to the decora-
ton of any material.
The process being altogether different
from anything heretofore practiced, has
at least a claim for novelty, and as the
pictures are said to possess rare beauty
there may be a popular future for them.
But they are not photographs in natural
colors, as we understand that term.-New
York Photographic. Times.

Nothing could more completely reveal
to us the whole of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's
art thar the following prose sketch of a
poem which was never written: 1.-The
Philter.-A woman intensely enamored
of a man who does not love her, makes
use of a philter to secure his love. In
this she succeeds; but it also acts gradu-
ally upon his life. She attempts to avert
this by destroying the whole effect of the
philter, but finds this is not permitted
her; and he dies in her arms, deeply low
ing her and deeply loved by her, while
she is conscious of being the cause of his
death. As he yields his last breath in a
kiss, she knows that his spirit now hates
her. THE Argonaut.

OUR NEWSPAPER HEADLINES.
Originality and "smartness'
Astonish Our English Cousins.

American Originality and ''Sm~artness'
Astonish Our English Cousins.
In England s~ensationalism and ANYTHING
approaching "smartness'' are avoided; but
in America the very opposite is the rule.
Indeed, so much attention is paid to head
lines in that country that there is engaged
on the staff of every newspaper of i'm
p%ortance a gentleman whose duty it is to
supply headlines to articles and para
graphs. Some of these headline writers
are paid large salaries and nave a wide
reputation.
'r. George Augustus Sala once said
t.Et American journalists rarely take any
thing seriously; they are perpetually try
ing to be smart and amusing. Few peo-
pie who have even an elementary knowl-
edge of American newspapers will call
into question the truth of Mr.. Sala's as
sertiun. The American journalist is
nothing If not original, and this ruling
passion is strikingly eXemplified in the
very headlines.
We have, for instance, never seen but
one heuding In English newspapers for
those simple announcements which never
tail to interest female readers-we mean
the Births, Marriages and Deaths. In
America, however, they use such head
lines as Cradle, Altar, Tomb; Matches,
Matches, Dispatches, and so on; while one
original genius sums up life thus-Births,
~Flirtations, Engagements, Breakings off,
Marriages, Divorces, Deaths. Then, in
stead of the familiar heading, Poetry, we
find Lays of the Latest Minstrels, or the
Warblers' Corner.
The columns of clippings, however, af-
ford scope for the most variety. One
editor heads his column of jokes, Render
unto Scissors the Things that are Scissors;
while another follows with Aut Scissors
nut Nullus. One Thing and Another,
Drops of Ink, Various Topics, Microbes,
Nuggets, All SoRts, Faggots, Pressed
Bricks-these are a few others taken at
random. Hash is, however, perhaps the
most appropriate of the lot. These head
ines appear very strange to us; yet it
should not be forgotten that, nearly 100
ycars ugo, The Times published weak
jokes under the extraordinary head of

seeds That terminate Quickly.

The human system is fruitful soil, and
among seeds that terminate most rapidly
in it are those of rheumatism and neu.
ralgia. A slight cold, brought on by sit
ting in a draught, wet feet or damp
clothes, will develop either of those
abominable painful maladies with unplea-
SAINT rapidity. The proper preventative
of this agonizing vegetation is Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters, a medicine which multi
fies a tendency to either of the maladies
named, and soothes the aches which they
cause. Nor is it less effective as a rem.
edy for rheumatism than its preventative,
a fact amply attested as any other relating
to its curative properties. Mariners,
miners, frontiersmen and others have ever
found it a faithful preservative of health
in unfavorable regions and a benign REM
'edy for malarial disorders and stomach,
liver and bowel complaints. 1t is a fine
promoter OF appetite and a capital tonic.

always to make his crew recognize the

scrvance; he therefore ingenuously had u
silver nose made for himself which he
wore on Sunday, keeping the tin nose for
week days, and the signal was always re-
spccted, so far rs he knew. Perhaps he
never heard that the sailors always called
the Sabbath "Silver nose day. as they
